I voted for the 91 wins.
I believe the percentage is a difficult to beat, but on technical grounds is a bit weak. If we take Lewis Hamilton for example- he has had 7 F1 races in his career and has won 2 giving him a percentage of 28%. If Hamilton wins 6 more races this year and retires(which is very unlikely but within the realm of possibility) he will be at 58%. Better still, he wins the next 3 races and something terrible happens- that will be 50% race wins.

All in all, I believe the 91 wins by Michael Schumacher is a daunting record.

450SEL,

Just to be sure we are using the same metrics here, is % win only confined to Formula races?
